A song that speaks to me is “Warrior” by Demi Lovato. This is a song I listen to when I need a reminder that I am strong. I’ve had an ongoing battle with mental health issues and so has Demi Lovato. When I listen to this song I relate to her because she knows the struggle of mental illness and she writes from her heart. In her song she writes, “ I am a survivor in more ways than you know”, this reminds me that even though I have had a rough path I can still be more than a victim. She also writes, “ I’ve got shame, I’ve got scars that I will never show”, this part speaks to me in particular because not everyone has to know my story. The things that have happened to us affects us on a daily basis and it is what we choose to do with them that

    Nicholas Wolterstorff states, “Many Christians join their fellow citizens in going to concerts, attending plays, visiting museums, reading novels; all are nowadays united with their fellow citizens in being subjected to advertising art in all its many forms” (Charry, 2000, p. 295). A common form of art used for expression today is music. When you turn on the radio you are inundated with songs that deal with cheating, promiscuity, and drug references. Most of the songs on the Top 100 Billboard deal with these issues, yet everywhere you turn kids are singing these songs like it is no big deal. This past summer Demi Lovato’s song “Cool for the Summer” was an instant hit.…

    It is widely known that music can affect us in profound ways; it can make us burst into tears, make us dance joyously to its beat, cheer us up when we feel downhearted, or intensify our happiness in moments of celebration. Music has the ability to take us back in time to distant personal memories, both moments that we would like forget and remember forever. Most of us get attached to music since the earlier years in life and we believe to understand how marvelous it can be, but only a few of us are familiar with the extraordinary therapeutic powers of music. It is evident in biblical scriptures that the use of music as a healing medium dates back to ancient civilizations.…
